The video shows Geethu Mohandas directing Yash during the filming of Raya’s introduction. She is seen managing every aspect of production—from guiding actors to orchestrating large action sequences—with confidence and precision. Sharing the video, the makers wrote: “Behind every shot that hit different, every silence that said more than dialogue ever could, there she was! Happy birthday, Geetu Mohandas.”
‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups’ features Yash in a dual role. The film also stars Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria in pivotal roles.
Release Details of ‘Toxic’
Earlier this year, the makers announced that the film’s release had been postponed. Initially scheduled for June 4, the team revised plans after receiving a positive response at CinemaCon. Reports suggest that the encouraging reaction from international distributors opened doors for a wider global release, prompting the makers to take more time for a bigger worldwide launch.
